Wagner Maniçoba de Moura (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈvaɡneʁ mɐ̃niˈsɔbɐ dʒi ˈmowɾɐ]; born 27 June 1976) is a Brazilian actor, voice-actor and filmmaker. Among his accolades, he has a Golden Globe nomination for playing Pablo Escobar in Narcos and an Annie Award nomination for his voice-acting performance in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
He has starred in multiple feature films in Brazil and Hollywood, including box office hits like Elite Squad, which won the Golden Bear at the 58th Berlin Internacional Film Festival. Elite Squad overseas success boosted Moura’s international recognition. In 2013 he debuts in Hollywood with the science fiction feature film Elysium, opposite Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.[1][2] In 2015, he went on to star in the series Narcos, playing drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, a role for which he was nominated for several awards, including the Golden Globe. Later, Moura returned as director for two episodes of Narcos: Mexico.
Besides being a well-established and acclaimed actor in Brazil, Moura has achieved international success as a part of the movement that seeks positive representation for South Americans in Hollywood.[3] In 2021, he made his debut as a movie director and screenwriter with Marighella, a biopic about Carlos Marighella, which hit cinemas after a well-received debut at the Berlin Film Festival in 2019. The movie won several awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Moura in different ceremonies.
